Bastet October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 Ainsley and Sam Charlie and Toby - I don't think Charlie is friends with anyone on senior staff, so if I had three votes Charlie and Josh would be the third Link to comment

Melancholy October 24, 2017 Share October 24, 2017 Josh and Sam: The actors’ dislike for each other came out and they had negative chemistry in S3-4. Link to comment

Guest October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 So, we have four votes for four different couples. If you haven't voted, please vote. If you have voted, vote for a second choice tie breaker from the four voted from above. Link to comment
Bastet October 26, 2017 Share October 26, 2017 Second choice of the four (ugh, this was hard, because my next choice is not one of those four): Josh and C.J. Link to comment
Guest October 27, 2017 Share October 27, 2017 Jed and Mrs. Landingham, I'd give you a long sendoff in Latin, but I don't speak it. Vote against one. Vote for a second one as a tie breaker just in case. 1) Jed and Leo 3) Josh and Toby 4) Josh and Sam 5) Josh and CJ 6) Toby and Sam 7) Toby and CJ 19) CJ and Sam Link to comment

Melancholy October 28, 2017 Share October 28, 2017 Josh and Sam: I know that they have some kind of pedestal as being similar to other classic Sorkin friendships Matt Albie/Danny Tripp or Casey McCall/ Dan Rydell but unlike those, this similar aged young brash guys dynamic didn’t work. The actors didn’t have chemistry and past ITOTG, even the writing didn’t support a close, personal relationship. Runner up: CJ and Sam Link to comment
ProudMary October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Josh and CJ Tie Breaker: Josh and Sam This is a lot earlier than I expected to be eliminating them but @Melancholy's post convinced me that I was perhaps too heavily basing my love of Josh and Sam's friendship on ITSOTG. Link to comment
Guest October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Even with tie breakers, we have a tie so CJ and Sam and Josh and Sam are both gone. Vote against one. Vote for a second one as a tie breaker just in case. 1) Jed and Leo 3) Josh and Toby 5) Josh and CJ 6) Toby and Sam 7) Toby and CJ Link to comment
ProudMary October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 (edited) Josh and CJ (Third round I'm voting out this pair. I think this time's the charm!) Toby and Sam (Love them together but they seem more like older brother, little brother to me than close friends.) Edited October 29, 2017 by ProudMary Link to comment
Melancholy October 29, 2017 Share October 29, 2017 Toby/Sam: I agree that they’re great but more big and little brother than friends. I totally get why Toby is domineering and treats Sam like he’s silly...because Sam *can be* ridiculous. But it’s not the stuff of even friendships. Tie Breaker: Josh/CJ. Love them. They actually seem like classic friends. They ask about each other’s personal lives. CJ would buy Josh pajamas and cook him dinner. However, they’re less deep than the other entries on the list. CJ and Josh are similar in a lot of ways and glibness is a character flaw that they both share so in combination, they can’t have a friendship as deep as they have with Toby. Link to comment

rab01 October 30, 2017 Share October 30, 2017 I'm new to this thread so I'm leery about jumping in near the end but the winner of this particular competition is foreordained so I think I can safely vote: Toby and Josh tiebreaker -- Toby and Sam (More unequal than Toby and Josh but I valued it more because it was deep enough that it really hurt when Toby betrayed Sam by not trusting him enough to tell him about the drop-in for the environmental speech.)

Guest October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 @rab01, thanks for jumping in! Why do you think the winner is foreordained? I know who I'm rooting for, but promise not to rig the contest. :) Toby and Sam are gone. Please vote for one and then a second as a tie-breaker! 1) Jed and Leo 3) Josh and Toby 7) Toby and CJ Link to comment

The most memorable moment for me was Toby refusing to listen to CJ about the bipartisan breakfast and then admitting to her having been right all along.) My votes may be influenced by where my kids are in the show. What was the best moment of Toby and Josh's friendship? Link to comment
Guest October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 Just now, rab01 said: What was the best moment of Toby and Josh's friendship? To me, it was when Josh visited Toby's apartment in Season 7 after everything that happened. Despite the indictment, the fight, etc. Josh reached out. Honorable mention to their phone calls the rest of the series where Toby helped Josh behind the scenes. Link to comment
Bastet October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 (edited) Toby and Josh. Jeez, this would have been out several rounds ago if I ruled the world; I'm obviously missing something others appreciate. Tie-breaker: I caaan't. [/whine] I have a dead heat tie between Leo and Jed and C.J. and Toby as my favorite friendship. I'll force myself to choose if we wind up needing a tie-breaker, but for now I can't. Edited October 31, 2017 by Bastet Link to comment
AriAu October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 It's Jed and Leo. Tiebreaker-Leo and Jed Last place is Toby and Josh who did not really like each other. Respect maybe, brotherly affection, maybe, but like, no. Link to comment

So just to be clear, I'm ranking my final three. Jed and Leo for the win. Toby and CJ in second place Josh and Toby, third. If I'm still supposed to be eliminating one, then Josh and Toby should go. Link to comment
Guest October 31, 2017 Share October 31, 2017 Voting against. :) But as long as it is clear what the vote means, it can be listed however. Link to comment
AriAu November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 I vote against Josh and Toby Ranking is Leo and Jed, Toby and CJ a distant 2nd and Toby and Josh an even more distant 3rd. Link to comment
Guest November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 Josh and Toby are gone! So I think I see how this is going to go, but vote for a winner. 1) Jed and Leo 7) Toby and CJ Link to comment
Guest November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 Jed and Leo. I love their friendship. I hated the beginning of Season 6 in part for that reason. Link to comment
rab01 November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 Of course, Jed and Leo for the win. Maybe even more one-sided than the romantic pairing. The only relationship that I think might be a more clear winner would be mentor-mentee relationship (where Jed and Charlie could win based on the carving knife alone) Link to comment
Bastet November 1, 2017 Share November 1, 2017 I utterly adore both relationships, but I'll pick Jed and Leo for the win because it's purely a friendship. Link to comment
